PETER RAY BLOOD
Twenty-three calypsonians getting encores on one night
extended last Thursday northern opening of Kalypso Revue
to1am.
A mere six singers were not called back by the sparse
audience at SWWTU Hall, Wrightson Road, Port-of-Spain.
Overall the tent has an entertaining programme though
a lot of its cast sang compositions which dwelled on politicians
who have fallen from grace.
Hosted by 105.1FM show host and disc jockey Derek "CG"
Silman, the programme was opened by a short prayer by
Anglican canon Knolly Clarke, followed by Minister of Com-
munity Development Winston "Gypsy" Peters who officially
opened the proceedings. The tent had a premiere on January
16 at The Velodrome in Arima.
In his address, Peters made a poignant plea to the public
to desist from purchasing pirated CDs and DVDs. He said:
"I wish to remind citizens of their role in the development
of the Carnival product and to specifically reiterate the need
for us, as citizens, to willingly and consciously purchase
only original material and not copies of music and Carni-
val-related memorabilia."
He added: "As a calypsonian myself, I am aware of what
it takes to produce a song and this effort must be duly com-
pensated." Gypsy also reminisced about calypso tent pioneers
including Chieftain Railway Douglas, and Revue founders
the late Kitchener, Jazzy Pantin and Sonny Woodley.
Of the cast of 27, while half a dozen didn t receive encores,
some of those who did were probably as surprised as I was
when they were called back. Fluctuating inconsistencies of
the sound system prevented one from actually discerning
what some of the calypsonians were articulating but they
all weathered the challenge of intermittent sound problems.
Two of the best compositions I heard on
the night were Leave the Children Alone
by Original Tempo, and
Put Dem Up by
Brian London.
